Wild Dragons are dangerous hostile creatures found in the Wilderness, Wilderness Extension and Expanded Wilderness. They are stronger reward targets than Wild Zombies, giving more Combat XP and a chance to unlock the Dragon Mount.
Dragons are biased toward the northern part of the Wilderness, making them a higher-risk combat target.

Where to find
Strategy
- Bank materials before hunting dragons.
- Heal at the Mainland fountain before entering the Wilderness.
- Use an Iron Sword if available — it hits for 26 damage versus the starter sword's 5, so dragons die in far fewer swings. Weapon tier does not change Combat XP.
- Stay aware of PvP; dragons are found in dangerous Wilderness areas.
- Dragon kills rarely drop Beginner Scrolls (1 in 1,000) on top of Combat XP and the mount roll.
